Done. £419 for a phone that good, that I only need a screen and a keyboard for to turn into a mobile workstation. Fingers crossed that enough people find this as compelling as I do and sign up!
A quick google suggests you could be liable for around £90 in duty & VAT[1]

Why do they have the same exact item/reward point at $625, $675, $725 and $830? It seems to me they're realizing there's no way they can reach they goal selling at the $830 price point, but why have all other levels simultaneously? Are people really going to pick 725 over 675 for the same thing?

Slightly OT, but do you know where you stand from an import duty/VAT standpoint? A quick google suggests you could be liable for around £90 in duty & VAT[1] [1] http://www.dutycalculator.com/popular-import-items/import-du...

No, if the campaign doesn't succeed, Indiegogo won't take your money. The campaign is only funded if they raise the full $32m, so there is no worry of not paying and not receiving the phone.
Yes you are correct. I screwed up by pasting the wrong FAQ item. What I was trying to get at is that there's no guarantee of a phone even if the project is funded .
I am struggling to justify buying a phone now that won't ship for 10 months. By then Apple, Samsung, HTC etc will all have far superior devices

Its says free shipping in the US and UK, so I'm guessing, as Canonical is based in London, they'll do the importing and deal with duty, so the price you see is the price you pay! I'm guessing.

We're all forced to use windows, I might even be able to make a profit :-)

Guarantee from whom?
Normally I'd agree, because the fundraiser is typically a startup, perhaps a limited company, with no existing business with which to back refunds. So they could burn through the money and end up with nothing to issue refunds with. So from your perspective, there's no guarantee, since suing them would certainly do you no good anyway.
But what about an established company? If they want to guarantee it, why can't they? But, of course, are they? I'm not sure whether they're saying they are, or whether the law would say that they are. But I don't think it's as clear cut as the new startup case.
That is pretty far away from the 32 million they need
